As Cool as You

Stephanie Alford

Taking all of the aggression

That I have encountered

By daily living

Out on myself

Is the only way

To have it alleviated

Talking does not help

Because everyone judges me

Writing helps some

But the pain lingers

Cutting suffices

It quells all of my angst

It makes me wince

With almost unbearable pain

But it is the only thing

That makes me happy

Simply because

It is the only thing

That hasn't left my side

I've returned from my little emotional sabbatical. Much better now.  View profile
